you know deep complex. and ordinary i sat down i. never was the marine in the shade but i mean i'm with. you if. you could government claims russia is a top security priority intelligence committee accuses. the threat posed by russian meddling in british politics reaction from people in london. i just think we have a right to weigh should be. and is going to continue with that there were shot of washers. just by. the new laws proposed in the

netherlands which would give elderly people the right euthanasia even if they're not suffering from any medical conditions we put the issue of. elderly people. themselves so nobody else think their life. no worth living anymore is a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to go on the u.s. accuses china of sponsoring hackers to spy on american companies that work on developing a vaccine for good 90. the u.k. government claims that it has recognized the threat posed by raw. for

a long time and considers moscow a security priority it also says it has a 30 year strategy for dealing with the kremlin this was london's response to a report on alleged russian meddling in british politics released on tuesday it accuses the u.k. of failing to take the threat seriously who is protecting the british public from interference in our democratic process. show we found no wanted to be u.k. government tributes are you off the ball because of its focus on the country terrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up the outrage isn't that there was interference the outrage is that no more want to know if there was. the russian report at the in south psalm by the government 4 year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday. hawkins looks at what's inside

the gets a very brief summary of the long awaited russian report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appeared to suggest that her majesty's government had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in u.k. democratic processes seems to be enough so if you're short on time or don't want to read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel stop watching now otherwise let's go on. open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it or anti e.u. stories on our t.v. and sputnik and the use of bots in trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process we have sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or built on these studies in response in my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the report's authors were seemingly

surprised by the limited response of the intelligence services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling international domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and artie's editorial policies and coverage bricks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under fire but it's still russia that poses the risk and the security services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u.k.'s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u.k. politics through digital media wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threat of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of

taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations that again the impact of such influence remains elusive. the impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and we have not sought to do so state agencies haven't looked closely enough for open source information according to the report they lacked a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more important role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way christopher steele author of the infamous anonymous golden shower dossier and contributors that the institute for state craft and integrity initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise

the states that russia is a threat and moscow's response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u.k. however small is still be on the horizon. we got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian report burnished i don't believe. the position more saddam or destruction was really going on. and the fact there were a shot of russia was there just by the enemy i just think we can't get. away should be to you and this kind of thing to do with them lately to know if they were telling us now wait it may take a listen to beginning where. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people will try to influence with a row government's interest. former british ambassador to is back east and human

rights advocate craig murry believes that the u.k. is determined to ruin any relations with russia. reporters extremely unconvincing in itself and that it doesn't even purport to give any evidence of what it claims to be happening i think it's a you know it's fairly laughable there's nothing concrete in it the u.k. is determined to ruin your russian relations you must remember there are people in the armaments industry and the security industry who make a lot of money out of having blusher as an enemy of the security industry in the armaments industry need an enemy in order to get the rest of us mugs to pay them billions and billions in our taxes every year but they suck out of the system and that's what this is about this is about portraying an enemy in fact there's no division at all for enmity between the u.k.

and russia and certainly no imagery between the u.k. people and the russian people. new law has been proposed in the netherlands which if passed for the elderly people to opt for assisted suicide even if they're not suffering from any medical conditions the netherlands is one of the few countries that have legalized euthanasia however the m.p. behind the bill claims of the current laws doesn't go far enough right now people jump into a canal or put a plastic bag on their head they sometimes have to choose the most terrible ways to die that's why i want to give the possibility to die with dignity with members of their family or friends near them i think this law is important even if it's about a few people because we give them the possibility to have a say on their end of life even when they're not terminally ill or suffering medically but still suffering. the present dutch laws say that a person's only eligible for euthanasia if they're suffering is unbearable with no

prospect of improvement at least 2 doctors must check the patient's condition before administering a lethal injection to the person there are also strict requirements as to how the procedure itself is carried out and who performs it. and the proposed law has drawn criticism with people arguing or thirty's should be doing more to help people in need rather than just hand them a suicide pill it's an issue we put up for debates with rob junk here who see executive director of world foundation of right to die associations and roger kiska from the christian legal center. it is part of a policy told get around the people a good quality of life of course a face a bit strange to talk about. terminating life has being told make better quality of life but that's exactly what the law is for it is for elderly people or themselves so nobody else no family think their life nice at this

moment no worth living anymore not because they are ill but just because they are too old for them selfs and in reality 98 percent of them as a study has shown if given the proper bedside manner if shown that they are worth something when we want to live so as a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to death and i am confident stated all countries around the world doc clones are helping patients die if they really do want to die but it is done in secret and in the netherlands said east we do it in the open and so we know when the netherlands how many times doctor he's forced in his own id to assist someone to determine it's his life any time there is a debate about assisted suicide or euthanasia the opponent of this is would always point to the netherlands because there it is it is gone from bad to worse i think

dutch doctors have gone from euthanizing the terminally ill to the chronically ill people with serious disabilities to the mostly and mentally ill now that it is being elderly euthanasia was a platform of nazi germany as well so we can derive it. the reality is you don't think it's all of us we should use our name and we should want people to look at all these efforts made with a covert to keep the elderly communities safe. why would we now throw it out of the window and say at 75 your life is no longer worth living if you don't want to live it let's work with the other community to make them feel. wanted to make their lives better there are older people they must be 75 years or old or well like the terminal kill situation patients do not want to live. in their situation and they want to have to try to say i want rather to be there to tell people in this way and i want to die dignified death and that has nothing to do with spending in more me

trying to make your life better it is what every doctor every person supervisor will fight for family will fight for it but if in the eyes of the person who wants to die there is no possibility or no real possibility then they should have the right to die in a dignified way instead of suicide to the european court of human rights has been clear that this is not a human right 15 or 20 years or euthanized in the netherlands a rerun of one prison religion that is by its distance who was with us supported by . the 1st of all babies are not euthanized because they have a separate regime it is not you to mazie are because they cannot also principle it is not euthanasia and the person that's very definitely. without a doctor's orders no no at this d. you did we do not consider them to have euthanasia they will have help in

shortening their life. at it looks like euthanasia but it is not euthanasia at this very pertinent to make the difference friends with the adult euthanasia in the netherlands and the babies who are seriously ill and are helped to terminate a life's. a couple who shot to notoriety as the bonnie and clyde of st louis after they confronted black lives matter protesters with firearms have been charged with unlawful use of a weapon supporters of the power including the governor of missouri and the attorney general of st louis argued that they acted within their rights to defend the home on the scale of open explains how this story encapsulates a deep division in us society. political polarization in the united states is becoming more intense basically you've got 2 there it's on the one hand you can support defunding the police and taking down confederate statues or on the other hand you can support federal officers on the streets of portland abducting

activists and engaging in acts of repression there doesn't seem to be much middle ground these days. now this white couple who stood in front of their mansion and pointed guns at protesters has become a social media sensation and they're now facing felony charges my office file charges against mark and patricia mccluskey following an incident involving peaceful protests on june 28th it is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner had those to spay ting in nonviolent protest now this couple has become symbolic of the ideological crack right down the middle of the united states your attitude toward the couple depends on whether you live in the old america or in the new one. now this couple who threaten the crowd of protesters are pretty widely hated and they've got quite

a reputation in the local neighborhood filing lawsuits and smashing beehives how do you feel about becoming the face of political resistance to the black lives matter movement that's a completely ridiculous statement the president reveal his name for a reason he tried retreated that saying he'd go get him bruce rather than the trigger for your turn at this point they're probably the most hated couple in america they've been dubbed can and karen the new dynamic duo of racism this mr and mrs smith sequel looks terrible ken and karen have had enough fox news has done to our parents what they thought gangsta rev would do to us. now the attorney representing the couple says that the crowd of protesters damaged the iron gates of their mansion and threatened the couple before they drew their weapons and at this point we've got donald trump speaking up in their defense

apparently people are allowed to just burn down other people's homes or shoot people or kill people it's out of control are able to be courageous to protect yourselves and defend your life so god bless you both and the attorney general of the state of missouri says he wants the charges dropped as they are politically motivated this includes route hesseldahl which provide. your personal property against those who wish to do tomorrow while the governor of missouri has already promised a full pardon that couple had every right to protect their property what they should not go through as a prosecutor attempting to take their constitutional rights away or you pradhan that with or without a doubt shann i'll do everything within the constitution of the state of missouri to protect law abiding citizens there are 2 realities to some this couple are racists who pointed guns in the face of peaceful protesters but to others they were

good american couple protecting their home from a mob of criminals and practicing their 2nd amendment constitutional right to bear arms there is no middle ground anymore the whole country is reduced to picking sides with martin artsy new york. australian doctors have proposed renaming certain parts of the body claiming that the current designations often created by men are sexist and dated i think we have a personal choice to d. colonize our language and these historical terms will fade out the young trainee doctors are mostly keen to learn the most relevant language and often show up when they hear the origins of some medical terms. small says that some $700.00 support the parts could do 3 naming 2 examples that she cites all the adam's apple and the killie seal she encourages the students to come up with new names for being aware of the historical designations for practical reasons critics say that this is just

the latest manifestation of so-called council culture and mere pandering to the easily offended we canvassed opinions on the matter in new york. it's completely absurd and misplaced anger and misplaced aggression toward something that is completely irrelevant to any type of movement or any type of affirmation of any time anyone sexuality i think that especially in this country but around the world . a lot of people don't believe it's been that way to say that absolutely true i don't agree of changing the names. body parts you know because for example our story. here body parts. i think. i think there are way more important things. in changing. that really and i don't want to. leave it out by gender it's about.

you know the gender on the what people what to say about their body i never felt that i. had a more rights activists urging that horse shoe crab blood no longer be used when testing the safety of vaccinations and other medical products are afraid that the species will decline to a critical level especially now when developing a coronavirus vaccine is a top priority of scientific research to science policy manager judith payne says if nothing changes the whole shoe crab will soon go extinct. krauts are fascinating animal once they originated around 400000000 years they regard it as a living and they are now threats of extinction they are listed as a species now so much nice. to read the news in the

bar treats the important but. is actually. do not need to be used in a bar cheese because there are sympathetic alternative methods that can be used instead of using the blood from crowds. who are often referred to as living fossils to to their ancient lineage every year pharmaceutical companies collect half a 1000000 atlantic or shoot crabs to take about one 3rd of the blood at the end of the procedure the crabs are returned to the ocean about 15 percent of them die afterwards unable to cope with that loss blood now this combined with using crabs fishing bait her score so sharp decline in the species over the past few decades though for science blood has showed its effectiveness improving the safety of vaccines all medicines which have to be tested for harmful toxins the use is approved in the u.s. where testing on humans isn't allowed we spoke with the c.e.o.

of the washington playing center john don brodsky he told us that a lot of pressure on the scientific community to produce a viable vaccine against covert 19 right now. the blue blood of. horseshoe crab a somewhat similar to ours and they they being the laboratory the pharmaceutical company would inject the vaccine into the crab and see what happens to the blood in terms of a reaction if there's a reaction and we know it's unsafe to use that the human being if it is safe well perhaps then we go to the next level in terms of safety and efficacy in terms of a fighting such a serious fire such a scope at 90 and the other thing that you're looking at is a cost factor i don't know how much of the horseshoe crab cost but then obviously if you have something synthetic that is laboratory made that the cost might go up we look at vaccines we want to make sure their basic safety we've been using apparently for years the blood of the horseshoe crab and i guess our animal rights

activists were somewhat upset about this from a physician standpoint certainly we look at testing on other human beings which would certainly be unethical also we then we look at other species that are close to us like mammals rabbits monkeys and things like that but now we've been looking even below that such as crustaceans like a crab to get that same level of evidence so i think we're doing it quite humanely right now we need to focus on human beings in terms of getting a vaccine the best we can but up but certainly if we can come up with something equally as cheap and effective and why not use it but i don't think we're there just yet and we certainly do not want to injure human beings based on the theoretical value of horseshoe crabs. the situation unfolded in a ukrainian town on tuesday and thankfully ended well after the break lou that some of the unconventional demands made by the terrorists.

you can't be both with yeah you like. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. no

dares thinks. we dared to ask. welcome back a 12 hour standoff between police and an armed man who took 13 hostages on a bus in north western ukraine is finally end as the attacker was detained all hostages were released get more on the story now go live to our correspondent don't pull some good ones you don't take us through that how this dramatic situation in ukraine unfolded good morning neal well the 12 hour standoff came to a close after the gunman had surrendered himself voluntarily to the police all of

the hostages were rescued on harmed and although the perpetrator had fired at one officer who was trying to bring them water the police also did not incur any cash. well to use so let's take a look now at who the perpetrator actually was ukrainian officials have identified him as a ukrainian citizen named mark seem and he actually already spent 10 years in prison on charges including robbery and fast and he wrote a book about his experiences there called the philosophy of a criminal now before the attack made several posts on twitter 1st calling the time at which he took the hostages a day against the system and he also demanded that ukrainian officials publish a video in which they were calling themselves terrorists let's take a listen to what the ukrainian minister of internal affairs had to say about the man. that he is an unbalanced person he imagined his own world. he came up with his revenge on the world he had his own ideas. now you might be

wondering why the gunman agreed to give himself up after this ordeal and it was only after speaking over the phone with ukrainian president vladimir selenski that agreed to ended and free the hostages and this is the video that you. agreed to post an exchange. then did. this is basically a movie that depicts human mistreatment of animals and about half an hour after the lenski post of this the hostages were released luckily no one was hurt and shortly after selenski took the video down but this situation has really sparked a new debate in the country as to whether or not officials should be giving criminals what they want in these situations as most of the time it doesn't have such a happy ending. many thanks elise there was a happy ending on this occasion don't quarter there with the latest.

the u.s. justice department accuses china of working with hackers to spy on american companies developing a corona virus vaccine comes a week after the u.k. canada and america made similar claims about russia. china has now taken its place alongside russia iran and north korea in that shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for cyber criminals in exchange for those criminals being cool to feed the chinese communist party's insatiable hunger for american and other non chinese companies hard earned intellectual property including coded 19 research meanwhile china is working on its own vaccine a 2nd phase of testing has started in over 500 adults to pass on the new job was deemed to be safe it's reportedly uses an immune response. to statement pompei or came to the u.k. to discuss joint actions to counter the chinese threat he praised london for its

tough stance on. play the keys chinese communist policy of exploiting the pandemic for its own interests of stealing u.s. intellectual property. think you would want to steal intellectual property citizens of the united states who worked hard to create something to invent something to get their trademark in the chinese communist party directed at state owned enterprises to steal the property from americans we hope we can build a coalition that understands this threat will work collectively to convince the chinese communist party it's not in their best interest to gauge in this kind of behavior professor of politics. believes that the new u.s. accusations have a lot to do with the upcoming american elections. we do know that there's a tendency and for washington to to try to preempt or respond to positive chinese developments with negative news about china at the top administration was adamant

that this was a competition that america would come 1st so this is matter of security it's a matter of trying to respond very quickly and in a very vulnerable situation that the united states in particular is facing given the failure to contain the virus and the inability to really put the economy back together it's also a matter of money with the idea that whoever does develop the vaccine not only do they have the strategic benefit but they would on the intellectual property rights and you know countries right now are struggling economically and this could be a tremendous boon if you know the rest of the world has to buy a viable vaccine from one country so given that this is also an election year it's unsurprising that all these things have come together in a way that have created this type of deep competition and fear of american decline and the rise of other countries appreciate you come to this morning he went
